Very brave of you to post this here. If you are lucky this thread will just die. Otherwise you are going to get lynched.

Shame the N900 did not work out for you. Know what you mean though. Maemo 5 is a bug fest and too many things that don't work well. Disagree with you that it is a crap OS though. If you want a phone that just works then yeah you'd hate it. If like me you enjoy cutomising and tweaking you'd love it. That is why I can never recommend the N900 to anyone other than my enemies but for me I absolutely love it. Yes I wished it could be smooth and like HTC Desire for example but the ability to tweak everything more than makes up for that.
